Q

T or F: enzymatic breakdown is NOT prominent in liquefactive necrosis

A

False. It is PROMINENT

21
Q

1) a coagulative necrosis that become liquefactive necrosis after 4-6 days

A
  • Myocardial infarction

* Cerebral infract (example of a liquefactive necrosis)

22
Q

What is the microscopic morphology of a liquefactive necrosis

A

1) loss of organ cellular architecture

2) brain - presence of lipid-laden macrophage that replace the dead tissue

23
Q

2 organs affected by liquefactive necrosis

A

1) heart (high fat, low-protein content)

2) pancreas (high enzymatic content)

24
Q

1) a cheesy looking necrosis
2) associated with tuberculosis infection and other granulomatous disease processes
3) caseum = cheesy
4) a form of coagulative necrosis

A

Caseous necrosis

25
Q

A change on adipose tissue due to trauma or the release of enzyme from adjacent organ

A

Fat necrosis

26
Q

What causes fat necrosis? (2)

A

1) breakdown of lipids

2) release of fatty acids, combine with calcium to form a chalky deposit

27
Q

Fatty acid + calcium =

A

Calcium soaps (chalky deposits)

28
Q

What form of necrosis happens when a pancreatic enzyme released into adjacent fatty tissue after a vehicular accident

A

Fat necrosis

29
Q

Is not a specific pattern of cell death, but the term is commonly used in clinical practice. It is usually applied to a limb, generally the lower leg, that has lost its blood supply and has undergone necrosis (typically coagulative necrosis) involving multiple tissue planes.

A

Gangrenous necrosis

30
Q

When bacterial infection is superimposed there is more liquefactive necrosis because of the actions of degradative enzymes in the bacteria and the attracted leukocytes (giving rise to so-called).

A

Wet gangrene

31
Q

1) calcification of necrotic tissue
2) seen in atherosclerosis arteries, damaged heart valves, necrotic tumors
3) grossly: appear as yellow nodules

A

Dystrophic calcification

32
Q

1) feature of metabolic HYPERCALCEMIA
2) hyperparathyroidism
3) vit. D toxicity
4) involves kidney
5) deposition even in normal tissue

A

Metastatic calcification

33
Q

2 results of intracellular accumulation

A

1) results of damage to the cell

2) result of an intrinsic abnormality in metabolic function

34
Q

1) exogenous pigment

2) blacken the lung tissues and lymph nodes

A

Carbon or coal dust

35
Q

1) accumulation of coal particles in the lungs

2) usually affects coal miners, cigarette smokers and polluted environment

A

Anthracosis

36
Q

1) form of localized, exogenous pigmentation of the skin

2) inoculated pigments are phagocytized by dermal macrophages

A

Tattooing

37
Q
